MVC Bundling - Include .min file for a single bundle

Question

I have a single file in my application that I only have a minified version of and I would like to create a bundle for it:

bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/maskedinput").Include(
    "~/Scripts/jquery.maskedinput-1.3.min.js"));

The problem is that by default in debug mode, the bundling mechanism ignores .min files. I don't want to turn off this rule for all bundles, but I would like to disable it for this single bundle. Is this possible?

Answer 1

A quick fix is to rename the js file taking out .min. Or as per the solution in this link you can create your own ignore patterns.

Answer 2

This is also fixed in the 1.1-alpha1 release, so if you update to that version, you should no longer see this behavior when including files explicitly.

Answer 3

You can either rename the file without the .min, or you can copy the file to have both a .min and one without. It's just that they're now both the same.
